The Spacetime Ripples

[EN-US] A chance, a shortcut, a possibility to get further, to a place never thought before. The Spacetime Ripples (newly minted from their former name, Tempo Plastico), sought to express their latest creations as a whole new project. A metamorphosis occurred when they were recording a new album. The songs became more heavy and psychedelic taking the band into a different course, a heavy hitting of Brazilian stoner rock with grunge pinches, ready to blow the limits of your mind with the pulse of a heavy drum, the roar of a bass, soaring guitar riffs and the catchy melodies from vocalist Fabio Gruppi. In 2016, as Tempo Plastico they ventured on their first tour in United States, notably performing at the 30th SXSW in Austin, Texas. Tempo Plastico has released two full length records, meeting success and popularity in their native Brazil and finding success on their last United States tour, making friends and fans the whole way through. Now, The Spacetime Ripples are ready to unleash their upcoming debut album in the United States on their 2017 fall tour, starting with the Youbloom Festival in Los Angeles, CA. Tempo Plastico is a Brazilian Stoner Rock band from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, formed in 2006. The band is independent and is building a solid carreer after playing in some important festivals during the years, highlighting the South by Southwest 30th anniversary (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, that became the band's first US Tour in 2016, where they drove from Las Vegas to Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, San Angelo, Amarillo, El Paso and Santa Fe in a motorhome. In October 2015, Tempo Plastico released the album "IT", as the band's second full lenght. Recorded in the studios Ultra Music (Belo Horizonte) and Wah Wah Studios (Sao Paulo), the record was the result of intense interaction between the four members. The album has 10 tracks, some in English some in Portuguese. "IT", was produced, engineered and mixed by Michel Kuaker (Sao Paulo), and mastered by Carl Saff (Chicago, USA). The band released "IT" for free in October 13th and was invited to perform in Mexico City at Festival Ajusco in November 2015. The current formation was settled in 2014. Fabio Gruppi (Vocals), Claudio Moreira (Guitars), Luciano Porto (Bass) and Saulo Ferrari (Drums), refreshed their musical influences with the main objective: surrender to Music completely. Drop and heavy chords, upwards and heartfelt vocals, to the point: ROCK. The first album was released in 2013. "Fazendo a Lata Velha Voar" has 12 tracks and was produced by Barral Lima (Ultra Music, Belo Horizonte) and mastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound, NYC). Nowadays, Tempo Plastico is currently performimg in many places from Minas Gerais state and some capitals in Brazil, besides finishing the production of a third album. Some festivals they already played are: SXSW Music Festival (USA), Festival Ajusco in Mexico City, BrazilFest in Seattle (USA) and some other Brazilian festivals from Belo Horizonte: BH Music Station, BH Rock Week, SENSACIONAL #4 and #6, Virada Cultural, Conexao Vivo and many others. Main influences of the band are Kyuss, Black Sabbath and Queens of the Stone Age. --- [PT-BR] Tempo Plastico é uma banda de Stoner Rock Brasileiro, formada em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, no ano de 2006.
